Disclaimer and Terms of Service


I went to my attorney and said, “Hey, do I need some type of disclaimer or disclosure for my website?” He said, “Absolutely!” He came up with the fancy stuff further down. I did my own. Read them both if you want to!

Tom’s Disclaimer and Disclosure

  • What you are reading here are my thoughts, ideas and opinions on a lot of stuff.
  • Always, always, always use your own common sense, at this website and every website. I will tell you what I think is true and correct, but unfortunately, you are on your own when it comes to making choices.
  • I don’t diagnose, treat or do anything with or for medical or psychological illness. I’m not a medical doctor or licensed psychologist or counselor. I’m a coach. You get it, right?
  • I love the Sedona Method. The wonderful people who publish the book and audio course, Sedona Training Associates have provided me with training, but they don’t want you to think I work for them. I don’t. Nor do they want to specifically endorse me. Just want you to know that.
  • I do business in the name of my company, 13 Zebras LLC. That’s why you find reference to it here.
  • Some of the links you will find are links to products and services from which I earn a commission. I won’t link to anything I don’t personally recommend, but you should know I make a small commission from any purchases.
  • Lastly, I don’t share your email address or anything else about you without your permission. I value privacy highly. Consequently, I don’t want you sharing my stuff without acknowledging me and providing a link back to tomstine.com. Only fair!

Guru Quotes

All of our thoughts are conditioned. We all are thinking exactly along the lines we are conditioned to think. Programmed like a computer. Anybody who thinks they are actually choosing of their own free will the line of thinking that they have is completely deluded by their thinking.

—Adyashanti


Behind most spiritual practices is the belief that you have to get someplace you’re not- a destination called realization or enlightenment. But realization isn’t someplace else; it’s the naturally occurring human state. It doesn’t belong to anybody. It’s who we all are. Spiritual practices also set up many pictures of what this state looks like. For example, when I described how much fear was present, people told me the fear meant that something must be wrong, because fear was an indication that I wasn’t in the proper state. But fear is just what it is, and it’s there too in the vastness of who we are.

—Suzanne Segal

In spiritual life there is no room for compromise. Awakening is not negotiable; we cannot bargain to hold on to things that please us while relinquishing things that do not matter to us. A lukewarm yearning for awakening is not enough to sustain us through the difficulties involved in letting go. It is important to understand that anything that can be lost was never truly ours, anything that we deeply cling to only imprisons us.

—Jack Kornfield

Those who awaken never rest in one place.
Like swans, they rise and leave the lake.
On the air they rise and fly an invisible course.
Their food is knowledge.
They live on emptiness.
They have seen how to break free.
Who can follow them?

—Siddhārtha Gautama, The Dhammapada

We always want someone else to change so that we will feel good. But has it ever struck you that even if your wife changes or your husband changes, what does that do to you? You’re just as vulnerable as before; you’re just as idiotic as before; you’re just as asleep as before. You are the one who needs to change, who needs to take medicine. You keep insisting, “I feel good because the world is right.” Wrong! The world is right because I feel good. That’s what all the mystics are saying.

—Anthony de Mello
